Chapter 6

I was on the verge of declining when I caught sight of Burgess's mocking expression. His smirk seemed to mock Roxanne's eagerness to secure a favorable match for me, as if she were trying to elevate our family's status through my association with the Jefferys.

Burgess interjected casually, "The Jeffery family has always held themselves to high standards. I'm not sure Oprah would meet their expectations."

His words were dripping with condescension, a thinly veiled insult aimed at my modest background. To Burgess, I was nothing more than an outsider, unworthy of the esteemed Jeffery family's attention.

Refusing to tolerate Burgess's derision, I couldn't help but sneer in response. "Well, I suppose there's only one way to find out. I'll give it a try and see if Alfred and I are truly compatible."

Burgess's expression darkened at my retort, his displeasure evident in the icy glare he directed at me. "You'll regret it!"

But I refused to back down, meeting his gaze with unyielding determination. "What do I have to regret?" I challenged, rising from my seat with a dismissive shrug. "At worst, Alfred may decide we're not a match, and then you can have your moment to gloat."

Burgess's narrowed eyes bore into mine, his silent rebuke clear in his frosty demeanor. But I paid him no mind, refusing to let his disdain diminish my resolve.

As Roxanne exchanged a meaningful glance with me, silently urging me to apologize to Burgess, I felt a surge of conflicting emotions.

"Oprah, Burgess is your brother. No matter what, he's doing it for your good. Don't always try to provoke him. Apologize to your brother and be more respectful from now on," Roxanne said softly, her tone pleading.

Feeling torn between defiance and familial duty, I turned away, intending to distance myself from the tense atmosphere. However, Burgess's firm grip on my arm halted my retreat.

"Oprah, don't walk away," Burgess said firmly, his voice cutting through the air with authority.

Old Mr. Harrison's intervention brought a temporary reprieve, as he diverted the attention away from our family discord and toward the family dinner. "Alright, alright, let's go eat first," he said, attempting to diffuse the tension in the room.

But even as we sat down to eat, the atmosphere remained strained, the conversation stilted and forced.

"Happy birthday," I said quietly, offering a forced smile before excusing myself from the table.

 I couldn't bear to spend another moment in that suffocating atmosphere, suffused with unresolved animosity and strained relationships.

***

The following day, Zoey's enthusiastic invitation to a charming café left me feeling apprehensive yet curious.

 As we settled into our seats, Alfred's warm smile helped to ease my nerves. "I never imagined that I would be sitting here, having a blind date with a beautiful girl like you," Alfred said, his tone genuine and sincere.

His compliment caught me off guard, and I couldn't help but feel a blush creeping up my cheeks in response. But beneath the flattery, I sensed a genuine sincerity in his words, a genuine interest in getting to know me beyond surface appearances.

So, I playfully asked, "Alfred, you shouldn't have trouble finding a girlfriend, right? Why did you agree to this blind date with me?"

"I could turn the same question back at you," Alfred responded with a charming smile, deflecting my inquiry with ease.

We shared a smile, a silent agreement to let go of any lingering doubts or uncertainties. Instead, we focused on enjoying each other's company, delving into topics that piqued our mutual interest.

As the day progressed, we continued to explore each other's company, sharing meals, watching movies, and indulging in leisurely strolls through the city streets. With each passing moment, I found myself drawn to Alfred's warmth and sincerity, grateful for the companionship he offered.

Before I knew it, half a month had passed, and Alfred and I had grown closer, our bond deepening with each passing day. On Valentine's Day, we made our relationship official, embracing the opportunity to celebrate our newfound connection.

However, the following day brought an unexpected turn of events. Alfred's sudden cancellation of our dinner plans left me feeling disappointed and confused, questioning the sincerity of his intentions.

Returning home from work, I tried to push aside my doubts, convincing myself that Alfred must have had a valid reason for canceling our plans. But as I settled into bed, a text message from him further fueled my uncertainty.

"Do you desire men that much?" the message read.

As I read the nonsensical text message, a sinking feeling settled in the pit of my stomach. It was unmistakably from that man who had been stalking me. Since I blocked his previous number, he must have got a new one just to text me.

With a growing sense of unease, I decided not to respond, hoping that my silence would deter him. B

But then another message arrived, "If you keep avoiding me, don't blame me for doing something bad to you."

It made me reply to him.

"What do you want?" I typed back, my fingers trembling slightly as I hit send.

His response was chilling. "Break up with Alfred."

My heart pounded in my chest as I read his demand. The audacity of his request filled me with rage. "That's impossible," I shot back, my fingers flying across the screen.

But his reply was relentless. "Nothing is impossible. Once you break up with him, I can fulfill all your desires in bed and elsewhere."

I felt a surge of anger rise within me. Who did he think he was, making such vile propositions? I wanted to hurl my phone across the room in frustration, instead, I forced myself to type out a response.

"What have I done to offend you? Why are you tormenting me like this? Do you want to drive me insane before you stop?" I demanded, my words dripping with frustration and desperation.

For a moment, there was silence.

As I anxiously awaited his response, hoping my words had finally made him reconsider his actions, his message came through with a jarring intensity.

"You're the one who is driving me insane. I've tried to ignore you, give up on you, and stop caring for you, but every night when I close my eyes, I can't control the desire to possess everything about you."

His words hit me like a ton of bricks, sending a shiver down my spine. It was as if he had crawled inside my mind, extracting my deepest fears and desires and laying them bare for all to see.

"I want to kiss you from head to toe and fuck you passionately. Your whole body should belong to me; no one else should touch it."

"Oprah, did you cast a spell on me? Please tell me, why am I so addicted to you?"

    Chapter 9My heart seemed to stop in that moment, the weight of his diagnosis crashing down on me like a tidal wave. Leukemia. The word echoed in my mind, each syllable a harsh reminder of the uncertainty that lay ahead.I asked anxiously, "Could I know how to cure it? Or… do I need a bone marrow transplant? Please tell me the cost of it, I’ll try everything."I wanted to ask a million questions, to plead for reassurance or hope. But as the doctor spoke of treatments and transplants, his words seemed to fade into the background, drowned out by the overwhelming sense of dread that consumed me."The truth is… it cannot be cured, Miss," he continued, his voice distant and hollow. "Not all cases of acute leukemia can be treated with a bone marrow transplant. Furthermore, finding a matching donor is another challenge..."I felt as though the ground had been pulled out from beneath me, leaving me adrift in a sea of uncertainty. The world around me blurred as I struggled to process his words,

    Chapter 10After an unknown amount of time had passed, I finally regained consciousness. Opening my eyes, I found myself staring at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.For a brief moment, I lay there in a daze before a flood of unsightly memories crowded my thoughts. Most of it contained the wild events from the previous night.Instinctively, I scanned the room for any trace of him, but the luxurious VIP room remained quiet, with only me lying on the bed.Attempting to sit up, I winced as even the slightest movement caused my body to ache as if I had been run over by a truck. I couldn't help but curse him as a pervert.Where did he find such stamina? He made love to me repeatedly throughout the night, even waking me up in the early hours of dawn. I eventually passed out just before sunrise.Now, it was already 5 p.m.My head throbbed with pain. Slowly, I sat up, enduring the discomfort, and once again surveyed the room. Unfortunately, there was no sign of him who had put me through

His gaze felt complex, as if weighing my reaction.After a few seconds of silence, Burgess whispered, "It's me."My blood ran cold as if someone had poured a bucket of icy water over my head, leaving me feeling embarrassed.I couldn't believe that the person who had been secretly harassing and sleeping with me was Burgess. It was utterly ridiculous!My anger flared uncontrollably, "You played me! You made a fool out of me! Humiliating me on one hand while pretending to help me on the other. You know, you are even more hypocritical and disgusting than Alfred!"Burgess narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "Oprah, calm down...""What should I calm down for?

    Chapter 12As Roxanne entered the room, her reproachful words hit me like a slap in the face. "Oprah, why didn't you answer your phone? You made me so worried," she scolded, her tone laced with concern.With a mouthful of food, I mumbled a half-hearted response, "Do you still worry about me?"Her reaction was immediate, sitting beside me and insisting, "What kind of question is that? You're my daughter. I would be concerned if I didn't reach you on the phone."Her words stung, a reminder of the fragile bond between us. I nodded in acknowledgment, but inside, I couldn't shake the feeling of resentment that lingered beneath the surface.Trying to distract myself, I focused on my soup, but Roxanne's next question pierced through my attempt at indifference. "Did you argue with your brother yesterday?"Surprised, I asked, "Did he tell you that?"Roxanne's response was cryptic, hinting at a deeper understanding between her and my brother.

"Even though you really enjoyed it last night, you want me to pretend it didn't happen?" he remarked, his tone teasing. Before I could formulate a response, he continued, "Naive!""You're naive!" I snapped, irritation prickling at my nerves as Burgess's words grated on me. Standing on the bed, wrapped tightly in the quilt, I attempted to assert dominance, as if I could somehow intimidate him with my height.But Burgess didn't seem fazed by my display of defiance. Instead, he casually wiped my wet hair with a towel, his voice calm and deliberate. "Since it has happened, running away isn't an option," he suggested, almost casually. "How about this? Our bodies fit well anyway, so I think we can maintain this relationship in the future."His proposal caught me off guard, and I couldn't help but widen my eyes in disbelief. I laughed bitterly, my anger bubbling to the surface. "Maintain th

If I give you 10 billion, you will let me leave and stop interfering in my life."Facing such a talkative Oprah, Burgess was not happy at all. She was willing to spend a lot of money to leave him truly.Burgess thought of something and spoke again, "I’m telling you. You will stay here with me before you pay back all the money."“OK.”Half an hour later, Oprah returned to her room to rest.Burgess was still in the study.When Angela called Oprah, she was shocked to hear that Oprah would pay a sky-high price
